Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Jiang Chuan looked at the "Champion-level" potential label on the panel and was immediately filled with emotion.

No wonder.

No wonder this guy, despite being so many levels behind Charizard, could still hold his own against a Charizard that had consumed a speed potion and activated its Thunder Power aura.

Charizard has the foundation of a gymnastics-level fighter, plus two 40% speed boosts.

This speed has reached an absurd level.

But this fossil ape-dragon, relying solely on its physical prowess, managed to race against the fire-breathing dragon in the sky for so long.

This is the true value of a champion's potential.

The ancient overlord of the skies truly lived up to his name.

If they fought each other at the same level...

Charizard might not be able to defeat it easily.

It's really hard to say who will win or lose then.

Jiang Chuan's gaze swept back and forth across the panel twice.

Suddenly.

An idea popped into his head.

That's a great idea.

He has something really good in his possession.

Ancient Resonance Crystal – This allows a Pokémon with ancient genes to activate its ancient genes, resulting in a massive increase in size and abilities.

And fossil pterosaurs...

Jiang Chuan quickly reviewed all the Pokémon knowledge he knew in his mind.

The fossil pterosaur has a mega evolution form.

This shape is very interesting.

Its Mega Evolution is actually a regression to its ancestral form.

It restores its true ancient form.

In ancient fossil murals, that's how fossil pterosaurs were supposed to look.

Covered in sharp spikes, with an astonishing wingspan, it is as fierce as a living fighter jet.

However, later fossil resurrection technology failed to fully restore its ancient genes, which is why it has become the relatively "ordinary" form it is today.

So here's the question.

If we were to use ancient resonance crystals to repair the genes of fossil pterosaurs...

Will it be able to retain that ancient form forever?

To forever maintain a powerful state equivalent to Mega Evolution?

Moreover, the ancient resonance crystal clearly states that it can amplify body size and abilities.

This is not just about fixing the Mega form.

We can take it to the next level.

Jiang Chuan's heart beat faster and faster as he thought about it.

If this idea comes true, we'll really make a fortune.

A fossil aeroda that doesn't need Mega Stones, Bond Phenomena, or any other evolution, and is permanently stuck in its ancient form.

Moreover, they are larger and more capable.

If we take this out to a competition, how will the opposing team fight?

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He first took out the ancient resonance crystal from the system space.

A crystal appeared in his palm.

A layer of amber light flowed across the surface of the crystal, and it was warm to the touch, as if something was slowly pulsating inside the crystal.

A primal, wild aura emanated from the crystal.

Charizard, standing nearby, sensed this aura, and its vertical pupils contracted slightly.

It instinctively sensed that this stone was not ordinary.

Jiang Chuan did not hesitate.

He crouched down and pressed the ancient resonance crystal onto the fossil pterosaur's Poké Ball.

The baby ball automatically bounces away.

The fossil pterosaur was still lying on the ground, dazed and confused, its eyes darting around.

Jiang Chuan directly attached the resonance crystal to the forehead of the fossil pterosaur.

In an instant.

The resonance crystal burst forth with a blinding light.

The entire valley floor was illuminated.

The fossil pterosaur's body was completely enveloped in light, transforming into a giant cocoon of light.

A series of cracking sounds, like bones breaking, emanated from inside the cocoon of light.

Click, click, click.

It looks like something is being reorganized.

It was like something that had been sealed away for a long time, breaking free of its shell.

Jiang Chuan took two steps back and raised his hand to shield his eyes.

Charizard instinctively spread its wings, blocking Jiang Chuan's path and warily staring at the cocoon of light.

The light lasted for about ten seconds.

Then it suddenly pulled back.

The amber-gold light receded like a tide, all retreating back into the fossil pterosaur's body.

The light cocoon disappeared.

The valley floor returned to darkness.

But the creature standing in the same spot was no longer the same fossilized pterosaur.

His size has increased by nearly double.

Its wingspan was significantly wider than before, and a row of jagged bone spurs grew along the edges of its wings.

Its entire body is covered with black rock spikes, extending from the top of its head all the way to the end of its tail.

A sharp protrusion appeared on his chin, like an upside-down dagger.

His entire body became more robust, with muscle lines as clearly defined as if carved by a knife and axe.

His eyes were no longer the dull gray color they used to be, but a deep amber gold, with vertical pupils and a fierce glint in them.

This is what fossil pterosaurs really looked like.

The ancient sky overlord.

Fossil pterosaurs in their ancient form.

It stood still and slowly unfolded its giant wings covered with sharp spikes.

Its wingspan blots out the sky.

It paused for a moment.

He looked down at his own body.

Then he turned his head to look at the wings.

It flicked its tail again, which had become thick, powerful, and covered with bone spurs.

A flicker of disbelief crossed his vertical pupils.

Then this disbelief quickly turned into ecstasy.

It is this feeling.

That's the power.

This is what it looked like before it went to sleep.

This is the attitude it should have.

The ancient fossil pterosaur suddenly raised its head, and a thunderous roar erupted from its chest.

This roar was even more domineering than Charizard's earlier one.

The sound struck the mountain wall, bounced back, and crashed against it again, making the whole valley buzz.

Its wings vibrated violently, each flap stirring up a gust of wind that sent pebbles flying everywhere from the valley floor.

The fossil pterosaur became excited.

It felt itself brimming with power, a continuous flow surging from the depths of its body.

Then it suddenly turned its head, its amber-gold vertical pupils staring intently at the fire-breathing dragon.

The meaning in his eyes was clear—come on, let's fight again.

I have everything I need.

I'm going to fight you again right now.

The ancient fossil pterosaur let out a deep roar at the fire-breathing dragon, its throat rumbling with a fierce threat.

The fire-breathing dragon didn't tolerate it either.

The flames on its tail suddenly shot up to their highest point, turning from orange-red to incandescent white, the intense heat distorting the surrounding air.

It responded with a roar in return.

Come on.

If I can beat you up once, I can beat you up twice.

The gazes of the two dragons collided in mid-air, almost sparking.

It looked like another fight was about to break out.

Jiang Chuan quickly stepped forward and stood between the two giant dragons.

He raised his hand and waved.

"Alright, alright, calm down."

Jiang Chuan's voice wasn't loud, but with the support of waveguide power, it could clearly convey his meaning.

He first looked at the ancient fossil pterosaur.

"We can't fight anymore now."

"Both of you are now important combat forces for me, you are on my side."

"What kind of talk is it to have our own people fighting each other?"

Jiang Chuan patted the thick neck of the fossil pterosaur and then pointed to the fire-breathing dragon.

"But don't worry."

"There will be plenty of opportunities for you to practice and compete in future team training sessions."

"If you want to have a match, you can do it anytime."

"But you all need to cooperate with each other and train hard in your spare time."

"No one can slack off, did you all hear me?"

The fossil pterosaur lowered its head and looked at Jiang Chuan with its amber-gold eyes.

Its eyes had lost some of their previous ferocity and gained a more scrutinizing look.

The human before it had given it ancient power.

It can nurture such a powerful opponent as Charizard, and can also casually give it back its lost ancient form.

These two points combined are enough to make this proud ancient dragon lower its head.

The fossil pterosaur retracted the spikes on its wings and let out a low, submissive roar.

The meaning is clear—I'll listen to you.

The fire-breathing dragon snorted beside it, exhaling a wisp of black smoke from its nostrils and extinguishing its flames.

The two dragons glared at each other proudly.

The fossil pterosaur spread its wings, displaying the sharp rock spikes on its body, and let out a low growl.

The flames on the dragon's tail burned even brighter, it raised its neck, clenched its claws, and let out a low growl.

They each proclaim to the other in their own way—I am stronger.

I'm sure I'll have the upper hand in the next training session.

You wait.

Jiang Chuan stood between the two giant dragons, watching their defiant stance, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

satisfaction.

Very satisfied.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

Competition within a team is essential for progress.

As long as the fight doesn't end in mutual destruction, this competitive atmosphere can actually be the best catalyst.

Two dragons with championship potential spur each other on to surge upwards. Just how fast will they rise?

Jiang Chuan felt excited just thinking about it.

"good."

He nodded.

"Keep this momentum going."

"You two will definitely shine on the field in the future."

Having subdued the fossil pterosaur and even transformed it into a permanent ancient form, Jiang Chuan was in a very good mood.

He took out Charizard's Poké Ball.

"You've worked hard, come in and rest for a while."

Charizard nodded its chin at Aerodactyl, roughly meaning "I'll teach you a lesson next time," before turning into a red streak and disappearing into the Poké Ball.

The fossil pterosaur snorted in dissatisfaction, but only flicked its tail and did not retaliate.

Jiang Chuan put away the Charizard's Poké Ball, then turned around and looked at the Ancient Fossil Aerodactyl.

Jiang Chuan walked to the side of the fossil pterosaur, used his superpower to levitate, and climbed onto its back. After settling in, he patted its neck.

"Come on, take me for a spin."

"Fly up to that cliff."

The fossil pterosaur let out an excited roar.

It flapped its wings suddenly.

The enormous wings whipped up violent air currents, sending boulders from the valley floor flying like shrapnel.

The fossil pterosaur carried Jiangchuan up from the ground like a cannonball, rushing straight towards the top of the valley.

Jiang Chuan rode on its back, feeling the fierce wind rushing towards him.

The ancient form of the fossil pterosaur has increased its speed to a new level.

With each flap of its wings, its body would suddenly leap forward a great distance.

The wind whistled in his ears, and Jiang Chuan's clothes fluttered in the wind.

This feeling is completely different from riding a fire-breathing dragon.

The fire-breathing dragon flies steadily and powerfully, like a heavy fighter jet.

The fossil pterosaur flew with a sharper and faster speed, like a missile piercing the sky.

Each has its own kind of enjoyment.

Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

I've acquired another useful mount.

From now on, I'll take turns riding the Charizard and the Aerodactyl when we go out.

One is heavy-duty cruiser, the other is high-speed rush.

....................................

Above the cliff.

Hanako and Kasumi were still squatting on the edge of the slope, whispering to each other around a crevice in the rocks.

Xiaoxia pointed and gestured from the side, both of them looking very excited.

Just then.

A violent gust of wind surged from the bottom of the valley.

Hanako and Kasumi both looked up at the same time.

Then their pupils contracted simultaneously.

A huge, terrifying monster covered in black spikes is slowly rising from the bottom of the valley.

Its wingspan was frighteningly wide, blocking out a large portion of the sky overhead.

What is that?

Why is there another monster?

This one is even scarier than the fossil pterosaur we just saw!

Hanako's face turned pale instantly.

Xiaoxia reacted even faster; she grabbed Huazi's hand and pulled her backward.

"Hanako-nee, retreat now!"

"Another monster?!"

Xiaoxia complained as she backed away.

"No treasure found today, but monsters keep popping up!"

Hanako was pulled back several steps by her, but her gaze never left the huge monster.

The monster hovered on the edge of the cliff, its huge wings flapping slowly, creating wind pressure that made the pebbles on the ground roll.

It didn't rush over.

No attack was launched.

It just hovered there.

Then, something even more astonishing happened.

A figure flipped and jumped off the back of the giant monster.

It's Jiangchuan.

Hanako and Kasumi were both stunned.

The two of them stood frozen in place, their mouths slightly agape and their eyes wide open.

The ancient fossil pterosaur slowly folded its wings behind Jiang Chuan and quietly landed on the open ground.

Those amber-gold eyes glanced at Hanako and Kasumi, then casually turned their heads away.

Jiang Chuan walked up to the two girls, looked at their stunned expressions, and couldn't help but laugh.

He reached out with both hands and pinched Hanako and Kasumi's cheeks at the same time.

I tugged at it gently.

"What's wrong?"

"Which Pokémon's petrification ability petrified you two?"

Hanako and Kasumi shook their heads in unison.

Their movements were so synchronized, it was as if they had rehearsed.

Xiaoxia was the first to come to her senses. She slapped away Jiang Chuan's hand that was pinching her cheek and pointed at the huge monster in the distance.

"Hey, Jiang Chuan!"

"Where did you tame this monster?"

"Where's that fossil pterosaur from before?"

Hanako nodded vigorously beside her, her eyes filled with the same question.

Jiang Chuan glanced back at the ancient fossil pterosaur, then turned back with a matter-of-fact expression.

"This is a pterosaur."

Hanako and Kasumi's pupils dilated again.

They both turned their heads at the same time, carefully examining the enormous creature lying quietly in the distance.

It was a whole size larger than the fossil pterosaur we had just seen.

Its entire body is covered in sharp spikes.

Amber-gold eyes.

The dagger-like protrusion on the lower jaw.

Bone spurs along the edge of the wing.

Hanako and Xiaoxia read it carefully several times.

This is a completely different species from that fossil pterosaur we just saw!

Although the one we just saw was also fierce, at least it was clearly a normal fossil pterosaur.

Now this one...

It's like a prehistoric monster that flew out of a horror movie.

Xiaoxia swallowed hard, moved closer to Jiang Chuan, and lowered her voice.

"Feed".

"I learned a lot about fossil Pokémon from Zheng Hui last time."

"I even checked it out."

"I've never heard of any evolutionary forms beyond pterosaurs?"

Xiaoxia's eyes held a mixture of doubt and scrutiny.

Hanako nodded as well.

Although she hasn't been studying Pokémon for very long, she has heard of Aerodactyl.

There is no record of any fossil pterosaur having a second form.

Jiang Chuan looked at the two girls' curious eyes and his mind raced.

The matter of ancient resonance crystals is not easy to explain.

It would be more complicated to talk about the props.

We need to find a way to say it that they can accept.
